Problematizar una experiencia de exilio interior en la frontera uruguaya Coraza de los Santos , Enrique Francisco, the “priest”, lives in Chuy, a Uruguayan community located at the adjoining Brazilian border. Francisco is a political activist dwelling in a place that he finds difficulty in considering his place. He was sent to this community by orders of a dictatorship, a repressive regime that detained and tortured him; Francisco spent time as a political prisoner in several detention centers until the regime gave him two “choices” to regain his freedom: to be sent abroad or go to a border area. This is a multi-location account, i.e., one that bears in mind my vital relationship with Chuy and the research subject, a situated account vis-à-vis the person who shares his memories, recollections that relate to the way he thinks about, represents, and inhabits Chuy from the stance of forced mobility. I problematize several categories, namely exile from a conceptual viewpoint, the historical account from a historiographic perspective, and the border from a spatial approach. I investigate these issues through in-depth interviews and informal conversations carried out in the period 2020-2022. A critical reading around the notions of internal exile, place-as-belonging, and politics as the meaning of person’s life leads analysis of the data. The article deals with mechanisms of exclusion and control, and the way agents of the Uruguayan, repressive, dictatorship of the early 1970s handled those people who were considered a threat to the regime. Francisco, “el Cura” reside en Chuy, localidad fronteriza de Uruguay con Brasil, uno de los confines de un país pequeño. Vive y milita en un lugar que aún le cuesta definir como “su lugar”. Llegó ahí por mandato de las fuerzas represivas de una dictadura cívico militar. Fue detenido, torturado y recorrió varias cárceles políticas hasta que le dieron a “elegir” a su salida: irse al exterior o a la frontera. Es un relato multisituado tanto, desde mi relación vital con el espacio y el tema, como de quien me ha compartido sus recuerdos; cómo se piensa, se representa y se vive el territorio desde una situación de movilidad forzada. Problematizo diferentes dimensiones: conceptual –exilio-, historiográfica –relato histórico- y espacial -la frontera-. Para ello, realicé entrevistas en profundidad y conversaciones informales entre 2020 y 2022. El análisis se hace desde una lectura crítica del concepto de exilio interior, el concepto de lugar como pertenencia y lo político, como sentido de vida. Este texto nos habla de mecanismos de exclusión, control y de cómo los representantes del aparato represivo de la dictadura cívico militar uruguaya actuaron frente a quienes identificaban como un “peligro”.

Francisco, the “priest”, lives in Chuy, a Uruguayan community located at the adjoining Brazilian border. Francisco is a political activist dwelling in a place that he finds difficulty in considering his place. He was sent to this community by orders of a dictatorship, a repressive regime that detained and tortured him; Francisco spent time as a political prisoner in several detention centers until the regime gave him two “choices” to regain his freedom: to be sent abroad or go to a border area.
